5 weeks is a long time. Luckily I had my Mom :)

Maybe, the reason I've been in such a bad mood this past - wow, it's been a week - is because I'm buckling down.

Vacation. is. over.

It was sooo much fun! All of it was, well just amazing. I felt like the character in a Jane Austen novel, traveling to foreign countries (England, and Italy!!), to her country, and exploring the wonders of the unknown. Through farms and farie-land, cathedrals and castles, markets and marquees. and my Mom was there, right there with me. :) I hope that I get to go back someday - seeing Pisa (I know!!!!!), and Florence (I know!!!), and all over England with Aunt Jenn and the kids, and sometimes Uncle Nat, was really fun. :) My favorite part of vacation was visiting the family, and our friends from Texas.

Pictures will be posted. How soon? Probably in a few weeks. Most likely just on facebook.

I had so many moments there, where I just thought "This is me, in (fill in the blank)." Sometimes it was London, at Charles Dickens home, or Stonehenge, or Bath, Westminster Abbey, or in the countryside, or Chatsworth house (PEMBERLY!), or in Florence, or by the leaning tower of Pisa, or walking down the streets of Florence back to my buddies apartment, on my own, just hangin' out. Then were moments that I won't forget too from the Bottrells, like the looks Lucy'd get when she needed to go to the bathroom - oh man. :D When she'd get glassy-eyed, we knew it was time to go into panic mode :D Oh, goodness.

I've got to go now, I'll write again soon.
